Night Moves, 2:19 A.M.

By Paul Davis April 11, 2010 8:15 pmApril 11, 2010 8:15 pm

All-Nighters is an exploration of insomnia, sleep and the nocturnal life.

For the sleep deprived, the early hours of morning can seem like an endless expanse of boredom, blankness and unchartable territory. In his series of illustrations, “Insomniflows,” the artist Paul Davis maps the dark and desperate movements of an insomniac night.

Paul Davis, an artist living in London, is the author of “Us and Them: What the British Think of The Americans; What The Americans Think of The British” and the forthcoming “The Book Of Flow.” His work can be seen at copyrightdavis.com.
